SoftSelect (Pty) Ltd today announced the conclusion of an agreement with Vizioncore Inc that sees it being appointed as the official African distributor for Vizioncore's range of virtualisation products.
"The agreement with Vizioncore will further strengthen our position as the clear market leader and innovator in the distribution channel for virtualisation products. The Vizioncore products will complement our existing virtual product offerings and fulfil an important role in allowing our customers, resellers and ISV partners to gain the most value from their investments in virtualisation," says Werner van der Walt, CEO of SoftSelect.
Vizioncore produces the highly regarded esxRanger product range that allows for full managed backups of VMware ESX Server virtual machines. esxRanger is widely considered as the leader in its respective product category. Vizioncore also produces esxCharter for performance monitoring and adjustment of an ESX Server environment, and the new esxReplicator for managed replication of virtual machines for cost-effective DR solutions.
"Our relationship with SoftSelect augments our existing reseller channels, allowing Vizioncore to tap into the burgeoning buying power of the African marketplace," said Chris Akerberg, VP of Global Sales of Vizioncore. "SoftSelect is a well-respected provider of leading IT software products, and maintains a network of key local resellers within its market area. Vizioncore is happy to forge a distribution agreement with SoftSelect and looks forward to expanding its distribution channels within in the African continent."
With the latest addition, SoftSelect has now clearly cemented itself as the distributor of choice for the reseller channel to deal with as a one-stop shop when it comes to virtualisation. SoftSelect's product offerings will enable companies that have taken the important step to invest in virtualisation, to truly start gaining the benefits thereof. These companies will now be able to utilise virtual technologies in their lab, testing and production environments with full confidence. The products will also allow them to build very manageable, fully redundant, cost-effective DR solutions bringing them as close as possible to the true 24/7 operations environment.
Vizioncore provides software that enables virtualisation by enhancing the VMware ESX Server capabilities. The Vizioncore products provide backup, replication and monitoring of VMware ESX Servers facilitating a powerful disaster recovery solution, a cost-effective and reliable high-availability option and automated monitoring and performance management of the ESX Server farm.
